Mexican American War Meme

The Mexican American War is a meme that has caught on in the United States. This war was fought between the United States of America and Mexico in the late 1800s. Both sides claimed victory and the United States declared itself the winner, but the war was not without controversy. It left a stunned and despondent nation and reinforced the worst stereotypes about both countries. Although the war did not bring peace, normalization of relations between the two countries slowly took place.

The Mexican-American War saw the two countries declare war on each another and Mexico was forced into a land swap with the United States. In recent years, many Internet users have made fun of this war by creating their own memes. Many of these memes are based on Trump’s famous quote that the Mexican people were “raped”.
